Bologna. They had problems with inventory years ago, but they’re still in business. And if I’m wrong and they take my money without providing a monitor, then that is what credit card protection is for. I thought you were saying something is wrong with the monitor.

they're "not a scam" in the sense that if you order one you'll probably get it, eventually, but they delay and delay until the great deal you bought into is no longer anything special AFAICT they still haven't shipped any of the 1440p240 monitors they took pre-orders for in mid-2020, even though 1440p240 panels are widely available from other manufacturers now someone charted the ETA over time as they endlessly kicked it down the road

I don't think you're likely to get a product anytime soon, and by the time you do, it'll be worth a lot less than what you paid for. Those 1440p 240hz panels indeed haven't started shipping yet 18 months later. It also really rubbed me the wrong way how they changed their name to dodge their awful reputation. Order at your own risk. But if you actually want something in the near future, you should get a different monitor.

For 27" / 1440p / high refresh rate for gaming usage, is the M27Q still a go to or are there other, better options at/around that price point? I'm okay with more expensive if there's a good reason, but the 1000$ OLED is right out.

What’s your sample size? Because the LG I tried before the M27Q had a more pronounced matte layer, and though I didn’t mind it that much I could understand some one that did. But it’s gentler on the Gigabyte.

My new lg 27" oled matte layer is ok. My Asus laptop, is grainy as gently caress. The problem is it's hard to know how much of that is it being grainy and how much of that is that the previous laptop was glossy and so the switch made it really noticeable. Now I went from a monitor with anti glare to a monitor with anti glare so it isn't as noticeable. I also use my laptop a lot more than my desktop so that'd make changes easier to notice.

Looking for a good ultrawide with a built in KVM. Use case is to switch between work laptop and home desktop. Any suggestions? I'm pretty loose on every other requirement - things like high refresh rates I would consider a plus, but not a requirement.

I’m not sure why but very rarely my mouse that’s plugged in through the M27Q will lose connection, requiring a restart. Only happens a few times a year and a restart fixes it, but thought I’d mention it.

I have been using the LG C2 in HDR mode 100% of the time for a couple of weeks and it seems to work fine. I use windows 11 22h2. Dunno what's the point of an SDR mode on a pc anymore.

I've got a workstation with two monitors and that's great. I primarily use the machine for coding and I'd like to have a (small) third display that's only there for media, youtube videos or movies. It doesn't have to be 4k or anything like that, I'd like it to fit in about 8.5 inches of vertical space. Having trouble finding one. It seems like every company is only making monitors that are 15 inches in size and above. All the rest of them look like plastic, overpriced with huge bezels, and a price tag that would afford something large from a more reputable brand. Losing hope that small media screens even exist, am I a niche market? Nolgthorn fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Jan 23, 2023 |

It was pretty mediocre on my Neo G7, but it suddenly got better with the W11 22H2 update, so I guess this is a windows problem somehow? I wonder if, at some point down the road when HDR becomes prevalent enough (even just basic HDR400 stuff), SDR will turn into some kind of legacy mode and everything will start taking advantage of the wider rec2020 color space. It'd be weird seeing that happen after decades of sRGB on PC though. Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jan 23, 2023 |

If I place an order for one of these monitors will you be shipping it out immediately or will there be some delay? What is the current state of your warranty services?

It's always been that way. There are only a handful of display panel manufacturers. Dough/Eve are nobodies, not some advanced partner that gets panels 6-12 months before everyone else. Every single time they've sold something that wasn't already on the market - and even sometimes when it was - you had to wait so long to get it that there were better AND cheaper options by the time it was available. They're basically just a preorder scam, taking premium money now and delivering an ordinary product later.

It doesn't have to be 4k or anything like that, I'd like it to fit in about 8.5 inches of vertical space. My weird hobby to the rescue! I've found that "portable monitors" are what you probably want, and is what I use for a second monitor. I had been using an 11" as my secondary and then went to a 15.6", so if you used something like that in portrait you could probably find something that fits (using an arm of some kind to get it to a decent height). So far I haven't spent much on the individual monitors involved since it was kind of a proof-concept thing, but I will probably upgrade the current secondary to something a bit nicer. The main thing I'd say to watch out for is VESA mounting, or finding a stand/arm made to accommodate mounting a tablet without VESA. I have a weird little touchscreen 11" from Zeuslap and a 15.6" from Corprit that both allow VESA mounting (albeit with such shallow holes it makes it a little fiddly to get the screws safely in place) and a 15.6" Viewsonic which doesn't have VESA mounting that I use as an external monitor for my laptop when I travel.

It was pretty mediocre on my Neo G7, but it suddenly got better with the W11 22H2 update, so I guess this is a windows problem somehow? I can not tell a difference in desktop use between SDR and HDR modes. To my eyes, the image looks exactly the same. I measured the screen brightness and set the SDR content to "10" based on that in the Windows HDR settings. Before doing that, I think the HDR mode was a bit brighter than it was supposed to be. In my use, SDR at this stage, is now a legacy mode. Maybe I'll run into something weird, but so far it has not happened. It's a lot more enjoyable when the monitor doesn't have to switch between modes, and I also can edit my photos in HDR with Adobe Camera Raw now. There's quite a big difference in some cases.

Yep. And I found HDMI + USB-A to USB-C cables which opens up a lot of opportunities. Some of these weird little monitors have a mini-HMDI port, meaning you need a cable that goes HDMI to mini-HDMI or an adapter, but a lot only take video over USB-C. Depending on how big they are they might need a second USB-C cable for power, but the little ones can be driven with both video and power over a single USB-C cable.

I've done a little bit of research and it looks like if I get a tablet of some kind and install a few things I can have it function as a usb monitor with no latency, so I've read. So that looks to be the best option. I get a small screen, and it's a lot more functional if I want it to be.

I don't know how Samsung does it because I generally don't like their products but the first thing that came up was of course the Tab A8 or S8. S8 is three times more expensive, but if I ever plan to use it as a tablet it looks like the better choice. I'm open to whatever though just not an ipad please. I'm sure there's probably a tablet thread I'm in the wrong place.

The panel it uses has gotten high praise from a lot of folk. In some respects, it's probably the best-looking panel you can get right now with really high image quality. There is a more expensive model with a g-sync module and a more accurate HDR image (AW3423DW), but some people prefer the cheaper DWF model due to the DW having an audible fan on the g-sync module, though the DWF still has a (quiet) fan cooling the panel itself. edit: Nobody can really say for sure exactly how burn-in resistant these monitors are. They come with a 3-year burn-in warranty though, and they also have the full suite of anti-burn-in features such as screen shifting and pixel refreshers. I've seen exactly one report of burn-in so far, and it was from someone who said their pixel refresher feature was broken. They were also a frequent user of window splitting, and the burn-in that happened was of the line down the middle of the screen between windows. A single report isn't an indication of a widespread problem, but you should still be at least a little careful as to how you use the monitor.
